DAYTIME METEOR SHOWER: This week, Earth is passing through a stream of 
dusty debris from ... where? No one knows for sure. The encounter is 
causing a daytime meteor shower as meteoroids hit the top of Earth's 
atmosphere traveling 39 km/s (87,000 mph). A meteor radar in Canada is 
tracking strong activity in the constellation Aries not far from the 
sun. The display is mostly invisible to the human eye--but not entirely. 
It may be possible to see some of these strange meteors during a narrow 
window of darkness before sunrise, especially on June 7th when the 
shower is expected to peak. Check today's edition of Spaceweather.com
